Polding Swimming

Congratulations to Maggie Doust who represented our school at the NSWCPS swimming carnival yesterday. Maggie swam very well and got a personal best time in every race.

Senior Freestyle 50M - 11th place

We are very proud of your efforts Maggie. Well done!

Cross Country

Our annual Cross Country event, held on Monday at the golf club, was a fantastic success and a wonderful day for our entire school community. With perfect weather and a great sense of enthusiasm, students gave their all on the course, demonstrating determination, resilience and outstanding sportsmanship.

We extend our sincere thanks to the parent volunteers who generously gave their time to assist on the day. Your support helped ensure the event ran smoothly and safely.

It was especially exciting to see so many impressive performances, with a number of records broken across different age groups. These achievements will be formally recognised and celebrated at our next school assembly.

Many of our primary students will now travel to Barraba on the 22nd May to compete in the Diocesan Cross Country Carnival.
